A funny detail from the Wired story linked below is the involvement of Jony Ive as a design consultant for a princely fee. His involvement used by Chesky to prettify the shittiness. A tricky balance: easy money, but clear damage by association done to the Jony Ive personal brand.

What is it with these people and little girls? Not only is it a bad way to talk about his economic failure, it's a bad way to talk full stop. The man perved his way into teen pageant changing rooms. His relationship with his teenage daughter was diseased. His head is a freakish place.
